John, did you catch my team’s message from yesterday?

The Cook Political Report just released their first ratings for 2026 — and they’re already calling NM-02 a toss-up.

If Democrats want to flip the House blue in 2026 and issue a critical check on Donald Trump’s power, we MUST hold this seat blue. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the outcome of our race could have lasting impacts on the future of our democracy.

We set a goal to raise $7,500 before tonight at midnight, and right now, we’re about $2,176 short. I’ve forwarded the full message from my team about the ratings change below if you have a second to read it. In the meantime, please consider chipping in to support my campaign before midnight:

Forwarded Message from Vasquez HQ:

John, the Cook Political Report just released their first race ratings for the 2026 cycle — and we’re officially in another toss-up battle to keep NM-02 blue.

We knew from the start that Republicans would have their sights set on flipping Gabe’s seat in 2026, and this proves that they’re willing to do — and spend — whatever it takes to get Gabe out of Congress and replace him with Trump’s hand-picked MAGA puppet.

We’ve set a rapid-response fundraising goal of $7,500 to reach before tomorrow at midnight to prove we have what it takes to make history AGAIN and keep NM-02 blue. Will you rush $10 right now to support Gabe’s campaign? →

John, we’ve been down this road before.

In 2024, national Republican groups spent MILLIONS to spread lies and misinformation about Gabe’s record — but it wasn’t enough to defeat this grassroots powerhouse.

Because New Mexicans know the truth: that Gabe is working around the clock to create lasting solutions to the kitchen-table issues that affect them every single day.

We’ve won against the odds before, and we know we can do it again. Will you rush $10 to help us reach our $7,500 rapid-response fundraising goal before tomorrow at midnight?
